Today, 20th Century Fox will be holding an auction of materials from its legal archives at Swann Galleries in New York as a fundraiser for the Motion Picture & Television Fund. It's a great opportunity for lovers of the "Golden Age of Hollywood," and a revealing glimpse into how different Tinseltown was during the age where stars were, for all intents and purposes, owned by their studios. Here are some surprising facts that have emerged from behind the gossamer curtain of fame and time. I really made that sentence up all on my own, I didn't steal it from an E! show or anything.

It was stipulated in Marilyn Monroe's contract that she maintain a specific level of tragedy and gay-friendliness in her persona (she was typically very happy and homophobic.)

Elvis Presley had a special clause in his contract that he would be able to do his own hair on set, and also that he do everyone else's hair, too.

Joan Crawford wrote the studio head a letter requesting legal permission to hunt down and kill "Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte" co-star Bette Davis with a crossbow. When this was eventually declined, she backed out of the film.

Marlon Brando's first screen test was simply footage of him sitting in a lawn chair eating cookies.

In the original contract drawn up for John Steinbeck to sign off the rights to The Grapes of Wrath, the studio requested that Tom Joad, Ma Joad and Casey be played, respectively, by Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland and a monkey. The contract was later rewritten.

Rita Hayworth's original name was Dikembe Mutombo (the basketball player was originally named Joe Mutombo, but changed his name in honor of his favorite movie star).
